First Encounters (Violet) Lyrics

Tiny ions bounce off one another, making fluorescent light. Mind the gap as we step on the elevator, where your skin is milky-white. I am your night off. I am your drive home. I am the cool between your sheets. I am your first pick. I’ll be your last kiss. In my arms, you’ll never know defeat. I am your elegant, life-escape procedure. Hear me out. Hear me now. Pushing 20. Approaching 60 at the on-ramp. Feeling sheepish at the signals I sent. I’ll meet your fingers at the gearshift. Your palms are sweaty. It was done with the fullest intent. Tiny ions press into one another, as your lips press into mine.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
